All the helpers
We set up the volleyball net that night. It was a perfect night--lovely weather and people and good food.
My Garden--I have a window box outside our apartment on the deck. I planted two cherry tomato plants and a few geraniums.
The first tomato, ready to pick
Picking Cherries--Elder Whiting always asks people what we can do to help them. When he asked his landlady she said we could pick cherries for them.. We followed her to the outskirts of town to their garden spot. It took a while but it was beautiful in the country and we loved it. She even fixed us lunch.
They live in town in an apartment but have this little home that they built on this piece of ground where they have the garden.
Here are the pickins'. She gave most of the cherries to us. They are sweet cherries and sour cherries. We spent several hours pitting cherries back at home and freezing them. Cherries must be a favorite fruit here--there are cherry trees everywhere.Elder Miller returned to Debrecen with his family about a week after he left. There was his mom and dad, his two sisters, and his 91-year-old remarkable grandmother. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the whole group. Elder Miller wore his "U" shirt just for Virgil. Virgil had a lot of fun teasing Elder Miller about going to the U. He tried to convert him to the Y but no luck.
July Fourth--It was nice to remember America on this day. It made me miss America. For our Friday night activity we had an American Party. Our opening song was American the Beautiful sung by the Americans. Our meal was potato salad, baked beans, watermelon and cherry pie.
After dinner we went outside and had relay races and foot races (I came in last) then played a game of baseball. Baseball is not a sport that is played in Hungary but they were good sports and played it anyway. It was a little hard to explain but we made it through and had fun.
Another baptism!! Demi was baptized on July 5th. He was baptized by Michael. In the photo are Sister Jensen, Michael, Demi, and Sister Rupard.
The week before Michael also baptized Johanna who just turned 8. Everyone loves Michael in the branch. He has performed two baptisms since he was baptized in February.
Our new awesome member--Demi. He is from China and attending the university here.
Asian Michael and America Michael in their new suits. There is a lady in Nagykello who makes custom suits. All the missionaries love to have a suit custom-made. Michael and Michael recently had new suits made.
